Although I pretty much hate posts that say 'oh, I don't have that problem, my puppy was a delight about X, Y, Z from day one' because how helpful...
Really? I have had to train Charlie to wee in the garden. He will do a few drops in return for a seabiscuit and that's about it. No matter how...
Well, it won't be a long term problem with your lawn. You have a boy. In a few short months, he'll want to pee on things. And he'll also view...

Whether you are on the right track or not depends on what you want the end result to be. It also depends on your dog. My dogs find meeting other...
Animals statues did it for Charlie too - when he met some stone lions for the first time, we had to put sea biscuits on their paws!
Oh I missed the vid of the bear first time round (too busy looking at the pics!). Teehee Simba! Was it scary! :D
How beautiful! Lovely photos. Looks like Simba was a very good boy and did you proud!
Ah, good news. Neither of my dogs had any trouble at night as puppies. Obviously lots of puppies do as it's an awful wrench away from everything...
By the way, if you want to keep him on 3 meals a day, you can. :) I use 'lunch' very flexibly. If I'm at home, I tend to use it in training. If...
Ok! :) That wasn't exactly clear from your first post - it didn't much sound like he was settling in the bathroom - otherwise you wouldn't be...
The reason people split puppy food up into 4 or 3 meals is because when they are young their tums are tiny, and for some pups tums are easily...
I'd say that this is most likely to be physical. Something is hurting. I know you might not want to hear that as a vet visit is difficult, but I'd...
That's a lot of attention for a puppy that wants to play in the night! It sounds like he was successful in getting you up multiple times, and got...
You've had some great advice already. It does get a lot easier, honestly. A couple of times you've mentioned a dog 'challenging' a human. It...
In terms of frustration tolerance - this is about calmly observing exciting things when the dog is not involved, mainly. This has been a terrible...
I have showline Labradors, and both have come with what I think is a very low natural level of impulse control. They are very much 'if I want it,...
Betsy was very noisy when I got her! Which was a surprise because Charlie had been silent as a puppy. She would bark in frustration if I didn't...
That's right. :) So you've got to get him going on the mat, but get rid of the treat in advance - otherwise, you'll always need the treat. It's...
It's not wrong to start off luring him with a treat in a training session, but you have to move away from that so you don't keep doing it. There...
